African daisy ‘Tradewinds Sunset’ (Osteospermum ecklonis). Gorgeous new colour. Orange to pink flowers bloom in spring and carry on through summer. Grows to a foot high. Syngenta. Ageratum ‘Blue Planet’ (Ageratum houstonianum). A tall ageratum with non-stop flowering power that doesn't require deadheading. Gets 2 to 3 feet high. Botanical Interests. Black-eyed Susan ‘Amarillo Gold’ (Rudbeckia hirta). A shorter plant, growing about a foot high, with orangeyellow rays around a bright green eye. Wow! Ernst Benary of America. Black-eyed Susan vine ‘Susie White’ (Thunbergia alata). Beautiful white flowers with dark centres, just like the name. The flowers are big and fresh-looking. The vine
grows to over 3 feet. It will climb up a trellis or ramble over the ground as an annual groundcover. Garden Trends. Cigar flower ‘Hummingbird's Lunch’ (Cuphea ignea). Elongated 2-inch cherry-red flowers tipped in yellow bloom from spring through fall. These are great for when you want people to say “what's that?!” Keep it fed and it will delight through to frost. Grows to 12 to 18 inches tall. PlantHaven International. Cineraria ‘Senetti Magic Salmon’ (Pericallis hybrid). So, the bloom will only last through the spring, but this one has to be included for its beautiful colour. It will live in a pot in your home until you bring it outdoors, where it will survive low temperatures but not frost. But my goodness, the purple petals on this daisy-like plant, which fade to pink toward the centre with yellow eyes... it's beautiful. The trick will be to find a nursery selling them. Proven Winners.
